Just another role for the faithful hose monkey

[Richard B the EMT]

Unfortunately, we will always have bickering. Sometimes it can be quite intelligent on both sides of an issue, other times, it's annoying. We have had a lot of entertainment and education with some of our "epic battles".

Shall we leave it at, whoever authorized and ordered the guys at Engine 245 to do the elephant wash, who was not, apparently, within the FDNY management chain of command, is at fault, not the engine company crew, the battalion chief, division commander, boro commander, or the citywide chiefs.

Also, the fact that, while the engine company is a medical first responder, as it wasn't requested to respond in that capacity, or in a fire fighting capacity, either, during that half hour, it seems, IMHO, to be a moot point, now.
